2018 Ford Fiesta 1.0L Petrol · CU68 HPA

The 2018 Ford Fiesta presents a stable and improving maintenance trend, culminating in a clean pass on 14 July 2025 at 33,340 miles with zero defects. The vehicle has required no remedial work across its recent MOT history, indicating consistent upkeep and the absence of recurring mechanical or structural faults. The recorded mileage of 33,340 miles equates to roughly 4,168 miles per year, which is notably low for an eight-year-old vehicle. Annual increments show steady, light usage: 7,121 miles between July 2022 and July 2023, 6,858 miles between July 2023 and July 2024, and 7,469 miles between July 2024 and July 2025. This consistent, low-mileage accumulation suggests the car has spent significant periods stationary or used exclusively for short, local journeys. Despite the clean record, the 21 July 2023 test shows an anomalous failure at 19,002 miles with no recorded defects, immediately followed by a pass on the same day at 19,013 miles. Buyers should verify the reason for this failure, as it may indicate an administrative error or a rapidly rectified issue. Given the low annual mileage, a physical inspection must focus on components susceptible to deterioration from prolonged standing rather than high mileage wear. Check the condition of rubber suspension bushes, tyre sidewalls for perishing, and brake discs for surface corrosion from sitting idle. Inspect the exhaust system for moisture-related corrosion and ensure the engine reaches optimal operating temperature during a test drive to confirm the emissions system functions correctly after short runs.
